That's a great idea! I've kept a battered garden notebook for years with blooming dates. Last year my snowdrops bloomed on 2/27, 3/2 the year before.

We have a saying here that Spring comes North at 20 miles per day. Would be interesting to see how the bloom progresses from South to North there in the UK.....

How great that you've kept a notebook Eileen - I wish I had had the foresight to do the same. It would be very interesting to compare dates.

It's interesting; have dates going back to '65! Not that I'm anal compulsive..

Whoever sees the first snowdrop, please do start a thread!

I have crocuses in my garden and feed grey squirels!

That would be great - first snowdrop, daffodil, etc. We could put your theory to the test DM
